    Do you remember where you purchased those cones? A vendor? A store front? What town even?

    Thanks

    I love the covered bridge festival! I have gone three times. Last time we took the bus tour and visited many of the bridges. The festival is outstanding! It takes more than one day to get through all of those wonderful vendors and the food!!! My sister lives in Indiana and that is when I would visit so we could enjoy it together. If anyone can make it I would suggest any part of it is worth seeing!!!! Wonderful people and quilts sprinkled through some of the towns.

    Go every year, DBIL & wife have a cabin in Park county, it's a family affair. We all get together and spend the days at different bridges. It is well worth the trip for all those interested. Love all the garage sales along the way as well. :)
